Ad Duas Lauros

villa · 300 AD – 640 AD

The toponym 'Ad Duas Lauros' refers to a large imperial property at the third mile of the Via Labicana and today comprising the archaeological park of Centocelle. The site is mentioned in the Liber Pontificalis as that of a large imperial villa in which Helena, mother of Constantine I, lived. Archaeological work conducted in the late 1990s identified the remains of substantial Republican-period villas in the same area, with evidence of both elite dwellings and viticulture. The villas identified are the Villa della Piscina and the Villa Ad Duas Lauros.
